1930 World Celebrities & Film Stars (Turmac Silks)

 



1930  
1930 World Celebrities & Film Stars (Turmac Silks)
Editor: Turkish Macedonian (Turmac) Cigarette Company
Netherlands
47 Silks

Features 1 (one) chess player silk #5. Jose Capablanca. The silks were produced by the Turkish Macedonian (Turmac) Cigarette Company in Zevenaar, The Netherlands. General production began in the 1920's and ended in 1934 when The Netherlands banned advertising items, including silks, from being added as premiums to cigarette packs. While it is likely the Capablanca is from the c.1930 set of 47 silks known as "World Celebrities & Film Stars" I do not have a full set list to confirm this. (http://moviecard.com/misc_t-z/turmac-worldceleb.html) If a reader has further information please comment. Only the chess player silk is listed.
